It's been a whirlwind for the past 24 hours with no sign of a slow down yet. Good: lots of productive writing happening, both for me and for some show plansAwesome: production meeting about funding today for the gardening show (yay!) Bad, No Good, Terrible: Ladybug, the BFF's red heeler, who was a tremendous friend and pal, who had the best manners of any dog ever, and was a sweet little nugget that would sigh once she got her nose on my leg and grunt as she stretched her short little legs out knowing I'd give them rubs, died suddenly from cancer late in the night. She goes to join Doc under the live oak at the farm, and there's nothing worse than trying to console someone over the phone as their best pal dies in their arms, let me just tell you.

RIP, little fox. :( Ladybug in AnnArbor with her best kitty friend coming up for head butts.

Are You Actually

Reading this? I'm just curious. Because that's really detail-oriented of you. Feel free to stop reading. But you can see that there's more here, so are you going to keep reading? Really? That's pretty dedicated. I'm impressed. No, really. I'm not being sarcastic, why do you get like that? See, this is the problem I have with your mother - yes. YES. I'm going there. It's time we put all of our cards on the table.

I love you, why are you doing this? After all we've been through? You don't have to be like this. You know, still reading. You could be baking a pie. And then sharing it with me.
